Description



Loss of control in flight is a major cause of fatal aircraft accidents. Loss of control usually occurs because the aircraft enters a flight regime which is outside its normal envelope.
107 KTS at 200' with thrust at idle meets this description.

Controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) describes an accident in which an airworthy aircraft, under pilot control, is unintentionally flown into the ground, a mountain, water, or an obstacle.[
It was NO under proper pilot control, but was INTENTIONALLY flown to the runway.



Stop flogging a dead horse WK.
